KOTOKO – ☆-Mirai-Ressha-☆

Passengers, are you all ready?
The train is about to depart.
From here, we stop at every station, bound for the future.

We don’t ask about gender, country of birth, or how much experience you have.
Greet your neighbor and share your afternoon snacks.

What you see on the right-hand side is the planet known as Earth.
It is full of conflict, but it is a planet of kind beings.

With you, space trip!
Sirius, Spica, Betelgeuse, Arcturus, Vega –
A dance of novae that was born in a pocket of space.
Clatter♪ Rumble♪ The rails are a turntable we revolve on, so let’s take a step!
The singing voices of the magnitude 2 stars shine even further.

Receiving a message sent from tens of thousands of light years ahead.
We who have just woken up, what should we say?

What you see on the left-hand side is the fifth galaxy.
There must be life forms there that we’ve never seen before.

Let’s go, space train!
Antares, Rigel, Sadalmelik, Altair, Capella –
Even better than you’d hoped, isn’t it? With no advance notice, the rail connects.
Show me!
Moving at an unimaginable speed, the wall spreads out ahead.
I want to break through it and touch a special future.

Will this star turn back into dust someday?
If that’s the case, I’ll open the shutter of my heart plenty of times.
I’ll take a panoramic souvenir photograph.

With you, space trip!
Canopus, Deneb, Regulus, Algedi, Polaris –
If you dream, this train will go anywhere.
Whenever we pass through the station, the number of tickets increases.
Fasten them to the stars!
We’ll aim to go even further.
